In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

Qassam Brigades have no connection to the joint truce statement

The Qassam Brigades, military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, affirm the falsehood of the joint truce statement circulated with the signature of both the Qassam Brigades and the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

We consider that statement as an intrigue aimed at besmearing our heroic Brigades after the heroic Tel Aviv operation.

We in the Qassam Brigades did not previously issue any joint statement with any other party. Furthermore, such practice is not of our policy.

We are confident that our Mujahid, mindful Palestinian people would not be beguiled by such media deception. They know who spreads such statements and who benefits from them.

The Qassam Brigades vow before Allah then our Palestinian people and Nation to continue resistance, Jihad and strikes deep inside the occupation lines until it evacuates our lands Insha’allah.
